Russian helicopter shoot down - Ukraine

Cheeky little engagement. I have forgotten how disconcerting it is to fly LL with a low lying sun in your face.
The probe in the camera view looks like something usually fitted to a Test aircraft. I have googled a number of russian aircraft and cannot see anything similar...other than the Mi28. One that aircraft it looks to be slaved to the gun, possibly for gunnery adjustments at the point of the barrel. Seems strange to have it stowed forward if they are low level over a threat area.....thoughts?
